Deep fried fish "Boca Chica" Style Recipe

Today I continue my mission of bringing you the most important recipes of traditional Dominican cuisine!

Since I was very young, I remember that one of the most popular trips was the one to Boca Chica beach. For “capitaleños” (people from the capital city), Boca Chica was an obvious option. A white sand beach 30 minutes away from the city. What else can you ask for?

Lots of memories arise of the traditional spaguettis with bread (a very traditional food to take to the beach in Dominican Republic) which always had a “chin” (Tiny bit in Dominican) of sand, the running around, the green natural algae and the pranks we would always play each other!

One of the classic memories of Boca Chica Beach was when we stopped to buy fried fish, fried sweet potatoes and of course “yanikekes” (Journey cakes)

Yesterday, while we walked by the fish area at the supermarket, we saw some beautiful red snappers and I decided that prepare the delicious dish…and of course share with you all! Enjoy!

I just found your site and want to thank you for posting these. We lived in the DR for 2 years and we really miss it. There is nothing that can replace afternoons on the beach at a palapa eating the catch of the day. Hopefully, I will be able to recreate some of those Dominican tastes we miss. Thanks!
